Our Aitftudes.-Before our summer
sojourners leave US the JOURNAL deems
it a matter of interest to them and ad-
vantage to Frostburg to publish the
following information. concerning the
several attitudes between Cumberland
and Dams Rock, and Frostburg and
Dams Rock. The letter below, as will
be seen, is from James P. Gaffney, the
accomplished chief engineer of the
Georges Greek and Cumberland rail
road, and may be, as he says, relied
upon as perfectly accurate:
In reply to your letter of 9th inst. relative
to the altitude of Frostburg, Dams Rock, etc.,

Cumberland Ne~s of August II, 1882:

Refreshments were each evening
served, altogether making one of the
most enjoyable and profitable occasions
of the kind ever held under the
auspices of st. Johns Episcopal
church.
The Lawn Fete held by the ladies of
the M. E. Church Tuesday evening in
a vacant lot on Mechanic street was a
brilliant affair. The grounds were
prepared with great care and taste.
Booths, tables and other equipments
bounded an area hardly large enough
for the $50 persons who went inside
the enclosure. A large number Of
Chinese lanterns furnished the illumin-
alton for the most part, and the soft,
mellow light was fully enjoyed by the
merry promenaders. All the refresh
ments current at this season were on
hand and literally dispensed by the
generous hostesses. Two large bal
looms, donated and managed by L. W.
P. Allen, of Baltimore, were sent up,
the first reaching an immense height.
Its rise was almost vertical, drifting
very slightly southwark. Striking an
upper current, however, it foated
away northward until its light became
invisible. The second did not rise SO
high, but crossed the town to the
southeast and for a long time hung low
low over and beyond the Walnut Level
farm. The affair was a complete sue
cess, and the management is greatly
pleased with the reception accorded
the first of its kind in Frostburg. 1t
was a regular out-and-out open-air
sociable.
